Late Tang Dynasty: I

Without accurate timing tools, he couldn't even draw a map. His Majesty the Emperor was very worried. However, knowing the principle of the pendulum and gathering the power of the entire Tang Dynasty, Li Ye still had hope of making a breakthrough.

Especially when you see the exquisite jewelry on women's heads, the perfect shapes made of gold, silver, and copper metal, and the micro-machining of metal, the craftsmen still have a foundation.

After crossing the Yalu River, we arrived in the Bohai Kingdom, which is very close to Longquan Mansion in the Bohai Kingdom.

Li Ye said to Dayao, the general accompanying the Bohai Kingdom: "I want to summon your king here!"

According to the information received by His Majesty the Emperor, the King of Bohai Kingdom, Darang Zhuan, is also a king without courage.

There are many ethnic groups in the Bohai Kingdom, including the Mohe Sumo Tribe, the Goguryeo Tribe and the Northern Savage Tribe.

The Sumo tribe of Mohe is also divided into more than a dozen tribes. The relationship between these tribes is relatively tense and there is no strong suppression. The tribes are not very convinced by the leader of the country. In fact, internal divisions have already begun.Many tribes in Bohai have fled.For example, Goguryeo gathered on the Korean Peninsula.

Three days later, Longquan Mansion.

"The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty wants to see me!"

"Exactly, the emperor is waiting for the king in Yizhou now!"

Da Rangzhan said in doubt: "Based on the general's opinion, should I go or not?"

Dayaojin cupped his fists and said, "Can't the monarch see the disaster of Silla?"

"This……"

"Your Majesty, I thought that the Tang Dynasty would not attack the army without reason. As long as we obey the will of the Heavenly Dynasty, how could the emperor treat us harshly? I have been to the Tang Dynasty, and their emperors and ministers hope that all nations will come to the court to show the prosperity of the country. Therefore, I think it’s okay to go!”

"What you said makes sense. I'm just worried that Xiaoxiao will cause trouble after I leave!"

Dayaojin said with a smile: "There is a magical weapon in the Tang Dynasty, called the Sky-shaking Thunder. I have seen it with my own eyes. When this thunder hits the city, it is like a god coming, and it disappears in a blink of an eye. Why don't the monarch open the treasury and use all the treasures and money to Ask for it!”

"In this way, I have no worries!"

The Heavenly Kingdom has always given generous favors to the Tang Dynasty. When Japan first sent an envoy to the Tang Dynasty to bring a bunch of smelly salted fish to the Tang Dynasty, Sun Wuji, the minister at that time, Zuopushe, said: "The Japanese people are a small country and the people are poor. There is nothing." Such a good thing, the Heavenly Kingdom naturally has the air of a great nation, so it should be given generously to show its grace!"

Emperor Taizong immediately gave countless treasures and property, but the Japanese were dumbfounded.

It was like this afterwards.

This was also the reason why surrounding countries were willing to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty.

As long as you lower your head and call me big brother, basically anything you want will be satisfied.

Three days later, Li Ye summoned the king of Bohai Kingdom, Darang Zhuan, in Jixian County.

His Majesty the Emperor carefully studied the writings of the Great Rang. His face was very respectful and his etiquette was perfect.

According to the original history, the Bohai Kingdom was destroyed by Yelu Abaoji 20 years later, and it was here that the country was destroyed.

"I, the Lord of the Bohai Sea, pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!"

"Lord Bohai, please get up!"

Da Rangzhan stood up and said: "I have brought with me a thousand taels of gold, a hundred fine Eastern pearls, a hundred ginseng branches, a hundred fine tiger skins, twenty bear skins, deer antlers..."

Chamberlain Zhao Xi took the gift list and handed it to Li Ye.

His Majesty the Emperor put the gift list aside and came to Dayang Zhuan and said: "I'm interested. I see that you are good at Chinese translation, but you have learned it since you were a child!" Han Wen, Chen’s father also invited scholars from the Tang Dynasty, and the palace’s collection of books exceeds [-] volumes!”

Li Ye smiled and said: "You did a good job. I thought that not only the royal family had to learn Chinese, but officials and people also had to learn Chinese. I checked the historical data and found that although the Bohai Kingdom and the Tang Dynasty were divided into Han and Hu, in fact, We have the same origin, I said that students from the Bohai Kingdom who are good at learning can come to the Tang Dynasty to serve as officials, and the warriors from the Bohai Kingdom can also be my generals!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Ye smiled and said: "I summoned the king to see him this time because I have something to discuss with him!"

"If your Majesty has a will, you can just issue an edict directly. There is no need to do this!"

Li Ye shook his head and said, "This is a serious matter. I'm afraid that you might misunderstand it or that some villain might cause trouble, so that's why it's like this!"

"Your Majesty, please speak!"

Li Ye looked at Damang Zhuan and said, "The Lord of the country tells me truthfully whether the remnants of Goguryeo are causing trouble in the Bohai Kingdom and rebelling repeatedly!"

"This……"

The emperor smiled and said: "That's all!"

"Indeed!"

Li Ye said: "The people of Goguryeo have no faith. They are the people of Bohai. I don't care about it for the sake of the king. I didn't expect that these people are ungrateful and repay kindness with hatred. God cannot tolerate them. I will capture all the remaining Goguryeo people." , what does the Lord think?"

Da Rangzhuan frowned. There were also Goguryeo generals in Bohai, and their strength should not be underestimated. He also wanted to get rid of the influence of the Goguryeo people, but if he did this, he would probably bleed a lot!
"Your Majesty, please allow me to think about it!"

Li Ye smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. There is one more thing. Let me tell you. Let the king think about it!"

"Please, Your Majesty!"

Li Ye said: "The Tang Dynasty is at peace and the people are at peace, and all the surrounding countries are surrendered. This is the time when the horses are released to the Nanshan Mountains to rest with the people. I want to share the prosperous times with the Bohai Kingdom and all the countries in the world..."

Li Ye said and looked at Darang Zhuan, who also looked up at the Emperor of Tang Dynasty.

What is your majesty going to do? He was so excited when he said it, the familiar Datang was back!
"There are 20 troops stationed in the Tang Dynasty along the lines of Youzhou, Jizhou, and Liaozhou. I heard that the Bohai Kingdom also stationed more than 7 troops. Is that true?"

"Your Majesty, sir, my garrison has nothing to do with the Tang Dynasty. It is really because the Khitan and Goguryeo tribes often harass our border and kill my border residents!"

Li Ye smiled and said: "How could I doubt you? Now that Khitan and Silla have been pacified by me, I thought that there would be eternal peace in the Tang Dynasty and Bohai Sea, so why would we need to station a large army! I plan to withdraw these 20 horses. The Lord of the Bohai Kingdom has also asked to withdraw these 7 troops. Neither side can station troops within a hundred miles of the border between the Tang Dynasty and the Bohai Kingdom. What do you think?"

"This... Your Majesty, this is very good!"

No matter what Da Rangzhuan thought, he thought it was good. The national borders should be set back a hundred miles on each side, and two hundred miles on both sides. No troops would be stationed within two hundred miles. He could transfer all [-] troops to Longquan Mansion to stabilize the political situation.

Li Ye saw the excited look on the face of the Great Rang and nodded. He sighed and said, "The Khitan has no faith. This is what worries me, so I stationed large armies in the north and south of the Khitan to contain them. However, the army penetrated thousands of miles into the desert. Being close to the Bohai Kingdom but not close to the Tang Dynasty, I ask the lord of the country to replenish the food, grass and baggage of the army. If something happens, the lord of the Bohai Kingdom should send troops to help!"

"Your Majesty, this is what I should do!"

Li Ye smiled and said: "To prevent you from working in vain, the king only needs to let the caravans of the Bohai Kingdom contact the officers of the army. They will use the Tang Dynasty's military stamps to buy the food and supplies of the Bohai Kingdom!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
